Factors (triggers) that may cause a flare-up of rosacea

Factors (called triggers) that may cause a flare-up of
rosacea include:

Weather conditions, such as exposure to wind and hot or cold
temperatures.

Foods, such as drinks with alcohol, hot drinks, or
spicy foods.

Skin care products, such as lotions, creams, or
soaps.

Activities, such as exercise, hot baths, or situations that
cause stress.

These triggers cause the blood vessels in the face to relax and open
wider (dilate), producing a sudden increase in blood flow and causing the face
to flush. Triggers for flushing affect people differently—a trigger that
affects one person may not affect another in the same way.
